What is it about?

Abstract This essay offers a critical reading of J. M. Coetzee’s 库切 novelistic legacy from both Disgrace (o.p. 1999) and Elizabeth Costello (o.p. 2003). It explores the problematic issues with representations of animals and its inter-“connection” between literature and the larger physical world (Mohamad Ali Hassan Alakhdar, 2019; Alakhdar, 2012; Alakhdar, 2019). On the other hand, it mitigates the public narrative web of social others within anthropocentric and biocentric perspectives (Wagner 2017; Miller 米勒 1988; Watt 1957; Hale 多萝西・J. 黑尔 1989; Hale 多萝西・J. 黑尔 1998; Johnson 2002; Mahfouz-Brown 張仲思 March 5, 2015; Caillois 1942; Zhu 2024; Zola 1960-1967; Lukács 1950; Lukács 1920).
